Review on Autmotive Authority Plastic Grab Handle-Entry Door Assist Bar: RV, Trailer, Camper, Motor Home, Cargo Trailer, Boat-OEM Replacement (Black) by Michael Patilla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product for replacement parts

This pen is worth the money. I have a 1997 Toyota T100 4WD and it's big, and since my knees are completely arthritic, even with the footpegs on, I have to grab the trough with my right fingertips to climb into the driver's seat. My upholsterer will put some nuts in the door jamb and assemble it for me. If the running boards are icy, I'll fall and break my hip one day. This pen is my lifesaver. Since it's a composite material, I can also slightly sand the back to match the contour of the truck body. I should have done that many years ago. This is the best security idea I've ever thought of. Head to a sheet metal shop and have them install two RivNut nuts and you're done. Do not confuse with the interior decoration of the ceiling. The steel in the door pillar is the strongest. It's so strong I could pull a truck out of a mud pit with one handle. Comfortable too. I am disabled otherwise I would buy Revain's RivNut installer tool for less than $50 and install it myself. I had to put them all over the truck. At least 3 on each side of the bed.
